Letter From Congo.
CONGO STATE, Central Africa,
nnoamhar z 1GQS


December 3, 1885.
My DEAR PARENTS: just back to
camp after several hundred miles tramp,
river swollen, &C., to find that your
welcome handwriting is wanting. There
has been fight on the Upper River,
. and one man named Druar, splendid
fellow, an Englishman plucky to fault,
together with four Blacks, escaped,
whilst one named Dubois, Belgian,
together with forty or fifty men, were
killed during sharp encounter. Druar,
poor chap, was with him few days
ago, has gone invalided homo. He was
kept thirty days in the bush, living on,
I guess, perhaps only caterpillars and
snakes. He had had finger shot off
and two other wounds; only a fewmonths
ago he had spear through his thigh.
HsS a gallant fellow. The Arabs
would never have cleared them. had not
the ammunition given out. They were
lo,t, aud what few Blacks escaped were
eaten by the natives, to whom they had
fed for succor and shelter. No doubt
there will be considerable excitement in
the city of Brussels over this sad disas.

Stanley writes me very fiatteringly,

attacks of 1ever, which have tried me

had in Borneo, I feel that want a
change rather badly and to hope to

THEY STILL LIVE.

Three Species of Men Who Enjoy Leaping
From Moving Trains.
Railroads have been in operation in
this country for fifty years. and vet the
man who can not wait until the train
reaches the depot before he jumps off is
still at it. He doesn't seem to have
learned any thing in all this time. He
rarely waits for the train to slack up,
even before he takes his leap. 1t is
more exciting that way. He generally
selects spot where the embankment is
very high. unless there be lofty tres
tie from which he can 90 plunglng
down into ravine or river.
He generally jumps off to save time.
He lives a few streets that side Of the
depot. perhaps. and in order to save
walking back he is ready to take the
chances of being carried home in an
undertakers wagon. As he frequently is.
Yet ii is remarkable how often he es-
capes serious injury. He has been
known to take the most frightful leaps
from railroad bridges in dark night.
and come off with hardly scratch.
There are other men who leap from
moving trains. but they are more ex-
cusable than the fellow above treated
of. There is the prisoner who makes a
leap for liberty. Handouts don't stop
him, and he generally prefers to 60 fly
ing. head first, through window. re-
CARELESS of where he may strike. If he
survives and isn't too badly crippled,
he strikes for the woods, followed some
times by the deputy sheriff who had
him in charge and who leaps after him.
Then there is the sOmnambulist who
jumps in his sleep. He dreams that a
collision is imminent. and running to
the platform. he makes leap for life
before the conductor can take up his
ticket.-Teras Sttings.

Archaeological Researches Proving That
They We.e known in Remote An
tiquity.
The history of medicine is all but silent
on orthoraiic surgery. And yet Greeks
and Romans. who, as archaeology has
shown. had anticipated much of modern
dentistry. can not have been without arti-
fetal substitutes for limbs lost in the vicis-
STUDIES Of peace or war. Eerodotus tells
Us OF a captive who amputatej his foot to
free himself from the shackle, and thus
escaped to his friends, who replaced the
limb By wooden one. The elder Pliny

may infer from the treasure-trove turned
up at Capua in 1885 in q tufa grave Among
the contents of this tomb was an artificial
leg. made OF bronze. wood and iron, the skel-
eton being entire. save the bones represent
ed b. the artificial limb. This (probably
unigue) relicis now in the museum Of the
Royal College of Surgeons Of London, and
is thus officially described: Roman artifi-'
cial leg. The artificial limb accurately rep
resents the form Of the leg. 1t is madc
with pieces of thin bronze, fastened BY
bronze nails to wooden core. Two iron
bars. having holes at their free ends. are
attached to the upper extremity OF the
bronze. A quadriiateral piece Of iron,
found near the position Of the foot, is
thought to have given strength to it.
There was no trace Of the foot. and the
wooden core had nearly all crumbled away.
The skeleton had its waist surrounded by
belt OF sheet bronze, edged with small nv
cts. probably used to fasoen a leather lin

Petty Acts Of InJaseice which Frequently
Make Social Life . Darden.
Selfishness as irritating as the grasp
ing of the best seat and best light and
best novel and first chance at book or
newspaper, can be met with at every
turn in many families; the selfishness,
let us say, that, having views on any
question conflicting with the views of
another. will give voice to those views
in season and out of season and obtrude
them even to the injury Of the feelings
of others. and if not early and late in
sisting upon them, yet never failing to
read the fragment from book or jour
nal, unpleasantly supporting them. and
indulging in the audible sniff or sheer
or outspoken innuendo, if such a thing
there be, on every occasion where the
indulgence is possible. a selfishness
that shows consciousness of the value
of no ones views but ones own, and
treats the individuality of all others
with contempt. A similar selfishness
is that which disregards engagements,
which considers the promise to be at
home a certain day or fixed hour as
of no weight. besides the inconven-
fence of keeping the engagement. and
who i'm this manner disturbs the house
hold arrangements by making meals
wait while servants grow impatient
and unwilling, and eyes grow tired
with watching and ears with listening.
Just as much as the almost precisely
opposite selfshness insists upon
the keeping of such promises and
engagements even TO the point of posi-
tive discomfort and injury to the other
party. who perhaps can not keep them
without such injury. and could be ex-
cused by one with any unselfish care.
One would find it hard to come to the
end of a statement of these small acts of
selfishness which infest the household
and hurt it through a burning sense of
the injustice done by them; and it is a
question if. with the present imperfec-
ton of human nature. we shall ever
quite escape them: they are as count

aggrieved by these selfishnesses have
the consolation of knowing that even
in the injury they endure. and the in

are practicing self-abnegation that
bears them to loftier levels of charac-

who commit the injury, trifling though
that may be.-Harper's Bdzar.
